A lesbian couple in Kingston say a card of support received on Monday more than compensates for some threatening letters they got last week.
"It's like a symphony of love here, it's crazy," said Susan Belyea, after two rallies were held over the weekend to show support for her and her partner Karen Dubinsky.
That’s not how Belyea and Dubinsky, a same-sex couple who have lived in Kingston, Ont., for almost 20 years, were feeling last week when they received threatening letters.
"I'm suspicious now, and I don't like that,” Belyea said.
"I don't like being suspicious of every car that slows in front of the house, or people walking by."
The anonymous letters carried messages such as, "We will watch and wait, and then strike, at home and office, as need arises," read one of the anonymous notes, suggesting they had BB guns. "These are not empty threats. MOVE, or else!"
Belyea and Dubinsky posted the letters on social media and went to the police.
